when mitt romney talked about self deportation of illegal immigrants, the message he was saying to the immigrant community was we're going to make life of so difficult for those who are in this country illegally that they will voluntarily go back to the country that they were fleeing. and what jeb bush in his book referred to this as, he talked about this as a gateway issue. in other words, you can't even get latinos in the door to listen to the message you have about the economy, about health care, about education. because they're so turned off by the rhetoric about illegal immigration. and that i think is what ari and the republican party is talking about now. >> so john berman has covered politics for a gazillion years. richard, you are my nonpolitico. are you moved? is there a sense of a relaunch? >> i'm the type of person that i'm to be persuaded, right some but to me, i know especially this 18 to 29 group, i just feel like it seems like marketing. and i hear the word brand and to me that makes it seem that it's not authentic. so i think social issues, but this idea of the package

country said we're tired this war, we're not sure we agree with it, but to their credit, neither governor romney nor president obama talked about speeding up the drawdown just to get out of there. there was no major speech from either candidate on how to hurry our departure. when you look at relations with the mideast, with korea in earlier periods, we spent decades supporting young democracies that were not always doing that well, not always that impressive, because we recognized we had security interests. it took, as you know, better than i, took south korea four decades to get to the point of a legitimate election and we stood by them the whole time. so if we have our security interests engaged and if we see progress, even gradual progress in the partner country, i think we americans are capable of doing what i consider the right thing and sticking with it. let's not talk ourselves out of our own ability to stay with something that's important for our own long-term interests before we even try. >> i agree with all that mike has said. i think it's really important, the point he made about othe

where both presidential candidates, president obama, governor romney, agreed on one thing and that was that the people of this country faced a fundamental choice in the direction we were going to take. and the american people voted and they resoundedly rejected the approach that is now taken once again for the third year in a row in this republican budget. this budget, as we've heard over the last couple days, fails on a number of counts. number one, it adopts the european style austerity approach that we've seen slow down economies in many parts of europe. we should instead be focusing on job growth and putting people back to work rather than a budget like this budget which will result in 750,000 fewer americans working by the end of this year. that's according to the independent nonpartisan congressional budget office. and it will result in more than two million fewer people working next year. it also fails the test of taking a balanced approach. because it is founded on the failed idea that combiffing another round of tax cuts to people at the very high end of the income scale will

again, we heard from governor romney and others last year that there are about $4 trillion in these disers to -- distortions and preferences in the tax code that help very wealthy people. and what we say is we should get out some of that clutter, some of those preferences and use some of that to help reduce the deficit. and we say at the same time when u do tax reform, don't touch middle-income taxpayers and when we asked our republican colleagues to give us that assurance in the form of an amendment in the budget committee, they all voted no. so, yes, we think that you can eliminate some of the tax breaks and preferences that mr. mcclintock just talked about, but you can use some of them to reduce the deficit. but the republican budget won't use one dime of those to help reduce the deficit. i now yield two minutes to the gentleman from washington state who is both on the budget committee and on the ways and means committee, mr. mcdermott. the chair: the gentleman from washington is recognized for two minutes. without objection, so ordered. mr. mcdermott: mr. chairman, i ask yourself what
